ChartHop MCP connector

The ChartHop connector brings your orgs, people, jobs, groups and job codes into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and the Elaichi Agent, so each person can look up and update headcount records within their own ChartHop access, with every change logged.

  • How it connects. Connects with an API key. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.

  • One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.

  • Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

How to connect

Use cases

What teams do with ChartHop through Elaichi

Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.

  • People Ops

    Catch a person's record up after a change

    After a promotion or a team move, update the person's title, manager and job in ChartHop from a chat instead of clicking through the profile. The change is recorded against whoever asked for it.

  • Finance

    Check open jobs against the headcount plan

    List every job in ChartHop, see which are filled and which are still open, and total them by group before the planning review.

  • Recruiting

    Open a job the moment it is approved

    Create the job in ChartHop with the right job code and group as soon as the requisition clears, so the org chart shows the opening the same day.

  • Managers

    Answer who sits where without the chart

    Ask which people are in a group, who leads it and which jobs are unfilled, and get the answer from live ChartHop records.

  • Operations

    Keep groups current as teams reorganize

    Add people to a new group, remove them from the old one, and rename or retire groups in ChartHop that no longer match how the company works.

  • IT

    Reconcile people and jobs before provisioning

    Pull the list of ChartHop people and their jobs to check against your directory before onboarding and offboarding runs, then fix mismatches in ChartHop directly.

Try asking

  • “Which jobs in the Engineering group are still open?”
  • “Move Priya Shah to the Customer Success group and update her manager.”
  • “Create a job code for Staff Data Engineer.”

From answering questions to doing the work

A person no longer has to ask. A trigger starts the work, inside the same permissions and the same audit log as everything else. Automations and live dashboards are launching soon, on the Black plan.

Automations

A schedule drafts the headcount digest for approval.

New ChartHop jobs are fetched, grouped, drafted into a digest, approved, then posted back.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect ChartHop to Claude?

Connect ChartHop in Elaichi first: ChartHop connects with an API key, so you paste the key from your ChartHop settings and the connection is live. Then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate, and the whole setup takes a few minutes.

Does ChartHop work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once ChartHop is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. You connect ChartHop once and every client picks it up.

What can an AI agent actually do with my ChartHop data?

An agent can look up people, jobs, groups, orgs and job codes in ChartHop, create new ones, update existing ones, and add or remove people from groups. In practice that means asking who is in a group, opening a job with the right job code, or moving a person to a new team, all from a chat. Short, concrete asks such as "list open jobs in Engineering" work better than long paragraphs.

Does connecting ChartHop give the AI access to everyone's records?

No. Each person signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so an agent working in ChartHop only sees and changes what that person could already see and change. Elaichi can narrow that further with restrictions per team, and it never widens what ChartHop itself allows.

Can my team share one ChartHop connection?

Yes. One person connects ChartHop with the API key and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever handles the key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log names the person who created a job or moved a person, not the account that connected ChartHop.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in ChartHop?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow reading people and jobs in ChartHop while blocking deletes or updates. A restricted action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any other client, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.

What happens to a ChartHop connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to ChartHop through every client at once. A shared ChartHop connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you ever want ChartHop gone entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client together.

Does the ChartHop MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. ChartHop is reached over the same MCP endpoint every client uses, so anything that speaks MCP can call it — Gemini, Codex, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed and OpenCode among them — alongside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent. The tools on offer and the access behind them are identical whichever client asks. Only the setup screen differs.
